Overview

Dynamics 365 Customer Insights - Journeys brings together the worlds of customer experience, generative AI, and marketing automation, empowering businesses to orchestrate end-to-end, personalized journeys across all touchpoints to strengthen relationships and earn loyalty.

Customers demand digital and in-person experiences throughout the purchase journey. They expect seamless, exceptional, and personalized experiences at every touchpoint. This necessitates analyzing a large amount of data to gain a deep understanding of customers, robust alignment between sales and marketing, and the ability to orchestrate personalized journeys across the customer lifecycle.

In this release, our focus is on three key areas:

  • Generative AI and Copilot: We're transforming the way you work to enhance your productivity. With Copilot as your AI companion, you can specify the outcomes you're looking to drive and Copilot will leverage the power of data and AI to generate audiences, content, images, journeys, and more, allowing you to curate, edit, and launch your project in record time.

  • Engaging customers in moments that matter: We're introducing new ways to reach your customers and we're increasing scale and throughput so you can connect with them at exactly the right time. We bring you capabilities to easily optimize journeys and measure success so you can ensure that every interaction hits the mark.

  • Unifying sales and marketing: We continue to break down data silos between your departments, fostering collaboration between your sales and marketing teams. Thanks to granular lead qualification, sellers and marketers can maximize the opportunity pipeline and increase win rates by addressing leads when they're the most likely to buy.

Our goal is to equip you with an unparalleled suite of tools to enhance your productivity in delivering great customer experiences. We want to empower you to understand your customers deeply, reach out to them in innovative ways, and consistently refine your journeys for optimal results, ultimately boosting your performance to new heights.
